Tried Pro Controller for PS5: Dualsense Edge can do that!

Playstation 5 - DualSense Edge: Everything you need to know about the luxury controller (5)

Within a genre, most console games play very similarly. With shooters, you can usually reload on the Playstation using a square and change the weapon to a triangle. In action-adventures we can usually block with the left shoulder buttons and sprinting is in almost every game on L3, i.e. if you press the left joystick into the controller. This works sometimes more and sometimes less well and the wish to freely adjust the key assignment has already been fulfilled by many game developers. In some game menus you can freely assign the controller buttons as you like and bypass some questionable game design decisions. This, mind you, is not always possible and the option for reassignment is hidden in the accessibility settings in a relatively cumbersome way on the software side.

That will change from January when the Dualsense Edge appears, which is officially distributed directly by Sony. While there are already controllers on the market that introduce extra functions on the Playstation, the Playstation developer is now launching its own product.

Hardware features of the Dualsense Edge

In addition to software support, the new controller also has hardware-specific innovations:

  • Two paddles on the bottom of the controller that can be freely assigned
  • Two function keys for quick access to preset features
  • Two sliders that can be used to shorten the shoulder button triggers

The two paddles on the underside can not only be freely assigned, but also exchanged. An enclosed variant corresponds to the elongated shape that has already established itself for such keys; the alternative also sent by Sony is small and round, which is why the Japanese manufacturers affectionately call them Go stones in their presentation.

The function keys are located on the bottom of the joysticks on the Dualsense Edge and act like the fn keys for the PC. In combination with other buttons, you can quickly switch through so-called player profiles, which we will explain below, or regulate the volume in the game.

The shoulder button controls can be used to shorten the stroke, for example for shooter players. The controls offer a total of three levels with which the length of the trigger can be adjusted. At the lowest level, haptic feedback is turned off.

In addition to new functions, the feel can also be changed in just a few simple steps. In addition to the paddles on the back, the analog stick attachments can also be changed and even the entire stick units can now be exchanged.
